This was strange. It had been just moments ago that Junko had been skewered through her whole body like a sack of meat by Monobear; Sakura could still feel the chills running through her body and the fury blinding her vision — but now, all of a sudden, it was as if she was…somewhere else entirely.
Immediately, she began to look for her lifeline; it seemed as though Aoi was nowhere…nobody was around, even, at least nobody she knew. She let out a low groan, her hulking hand moving to rub over her eyes and forehead. Stay calm. This was perhaps a trick of Monobear’s. She couldn’t let herself get addled, she wouldn’t — even when faced with death and despair, she would never surrender…
First thing was first, she supposed — find out where she was. She began to walk, her expression blank as ever. If she showed fear to this opponent, they could use it against her… this strange, omniscient adversary would be hard to defeat, but—
It didn’t take long for her to be so lost in her thoughts that she almost mowed down what looked to be a teenage boy. She halted and looked down at him, her eye glinting with suspicion. She stared for a few moments, first at the boy, then at his… what the hell was that… that yellow bunny cat mouse creature… She wouldn’t even bother asking for now — the whole situation was strange enough already.
"…" She merely stared, her brow furrowing and creasing slightly. How was she even supposed to react? She was addled — she had just witnessed a gruesome death, then was suddenly transported here to an even less familiar place… what was going on? "I did not see you earlier," she ventured finally, her gruff voice still soft but guarded. This could be another scheme of Monobear’s…
Satoshi felt deeply uncomfortable under her stare. His gaze quickly checked any traces of Pokéballs as he mentally reassured himself. Even if this woman would do anything to survive, the only real danger would be when his own Battle would come... Right?
Electricity sparkled from Pikachu's cheeks as the small Pokémon noticed the tenseness the female human provoked in his beloved Trainer. Pikachu didn't like how the woman looked at Satoshi, and he pressed his body closer to Satoshi's face in warning. Do not touch him.
Satoshi raised his hand to pet Pikachu's head soothingly. He had not seen any Pokéballs; and the woman only comment confirmed his suspicions. She must be from another world. However, Satoshi didn't know weither or not he could voice this.
"Neither did I." Something clicked in Satoshi's mind. Many would be confused if they found somewhere else, but this woman seemed mostly disturbed by Satoshi's appearance, for what he could see. And the wariness in her eyes...
Satoshi knew it to be the same he felt. He could recognize someone who feared for their life, who wondered if death awaited them just at the corner. Someone just like him.
So... Was she experiencing something similar to him?
Satoshi touched his hat, almost covering his eyes with it at the thought. He shouldn't. He really should not think back of what happened earlier. A shiver ran down his spine anyway; and Satoshi forced himself to raise his hat in a sort of greeting gesture. "I'm Satoshi." He dropped his hand at his side, managing a faint smile.
Satoshi has the habit of either pulling his hat on his eyes, or turning it.
Spoiler for one of the character present in the story/verse called DR!Satoshi! However, said character will be introduced as soon as they are seen in the story.
However, in Verse 5, DR!Satoshi picked up a new habit from Red: raising his hat up in greeting, or simply raising it.
Satoshi idly strolled along the corridor, Pikachu on his shoulder. The small yellow mouse glanced at his Trainer every few seconds, disliking the lost look in his brown eyes.
Feeling the gaze of his trusted friend, Satoshi mustered up a smile and glanced sideway at Pikachu. "I'm fine, Pikachu." He said softly, rubbing Pikachu between his ears.
"Chu..." Pikachu closed his eyes faintly from the nice scrub Satoshi did; but he soon opened them to give Satoshi a piercing look.
Satoshi chuckled, brushing his hand in his jet black hairs. "I know... I shouldn't try this around you, eh?" He smiled sadly. "But I have to try, Pikachu. I'm not sure..." He paused "I'm not sure I could keep on going in this place if I..."
Satoshi trailed off, unwilling to finish his thought. Pikachu understood anyway, and rubbed his cheek with Satoshi's.
Satoshi froze in his steps when he spotted someone. Squinting, Satoshi decided that yes, it was a woman. A huge woman. Satoshi wouldn't wish to go on her bad side.
But the real problem was... He didn't know her. He didn't know this woman even though he was trapped in a Mansion with 14-no, 12 now-other Trainers.
Suspiciously, Satoshi approached her with what he hoped to be a friendly smile. "Hello."
Faintly, Satoshi wondered if it was possible this woman came from another world. He had the knowledge of such thing, and apparently, it wasn't that uncommon to meet someone from another universe. All that was needed was a small door between dimensions, a door created from similarities; and then in one place both dimensions co-existed.
A hum left Satoshi's lips as a small breeze brushed his jet black bangs. On his shoulder, his faithful Pikachu let out a pleased "Cha~" as his ears moved a bit.
"Feels good, right Pikachu?" The 19 years old asked softly, giving a loopsided smile at his companion.
"Pika!"
Satoshi chuckled at Pikachu's agreement, his steps faltering as he noticed how deep he had got into Tokiwa Forest. Pikachu glanced at him, cocking his head and letting out a questioning, "Pikapi?"
"Eh, that wasn't quite what I had in mind..." He admitted softly, scratching his cheek with a finger as he sweatdropped. "I hope there's no Beedrills around..."
Pikachu shook his head fondly, amused at his Trainer. The small yellow mouse had known Satoshi wanted to take a break from his new position; yet now they had found themselves lost into Tokiwa Forest.
"You think Shigeru gonna worry?" Satoshi asked absent-mindedly, a faint blush forming on his tan cheeks without his knowing.
"Pi..." Pikachu replied without much emotion.
Satoshi chuckled once again as his brown eyes sparkled at the thought of Shigeru. "I guess I'll see when I come back to Tokiwa. The strength of his scolding will make a good measure." He commented dryly.
Pikachu let out what suspiciously sounded like a snort, and exchanged an amused glance with Satoshi. Then, his ears perked up as he heard steps. His nose twitched; and Pikachu let out a confused, "Pi... Ka?"
His nose was telling him the scent was very familiar to Shigeru's one; yet it was also... different.
"What's the matter buddy?" Satoshi asked, trailing his gaze around. "Someone is here?"
"Pi!" Pikachu nodded.
Satoshi grinned. "Maybe they can help us out of here?" He joked before calling out loudly, "Hello?!"

Currently: Trapped in Battle Mansion. Known there as Unknown Master.
Basic Background: It is undecided if Satoshi never released Pidgeot and Lapras, or if he did but they came back to him at some point. Also undecided at which point Bulbasaur and Squirtle evolved. After being back in Masara Town, Satoshi received an invitation for a Battle Mansion. He had to come alone, and with a team of 6 Pokemons. Satoshi couldn't resist, of course. The first day passed without troubled as Satoshi and the 14 other Trainers invited were given a tour. They were each given a title (as example, Fire Master), and told that a tournament would start the day after. All went to hell the moment someone won and someone lost. Before their horrified eyes, the loser and their Pokemons were executed. Someone who tried to protest followed the same fate. It is now that the full consequence of what they witnessed and what they were told register: only one person can win the tournament. Only one person can live this place alive.
